FAQs
How do I clean the suede on my Birkenstock Boston Clogs?
Gently brush off dirt with a suede brush. For spots, use a suede eraser. For more significant stains, consider a specialized suede cleaner, following the product instructions carefully. Always air dry away from heat.
Are these clogs waterproof?
No, the suede material has a high moisture absorption capacity and is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in rain or wet conditions to prevent damage to the material.
What is the footbed made of?
The footbed is made of anatomically shaped cork-latex, designed to provide support and mold to the shape of your foot over time.
Can I wear socks with these clogs?
Yes, many people choose to wear socks with Birkenstock Boston Clogs for added comfort and warmth, especially in cooler weather.
What is the sole made of?
The sole and outsole are made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate), a lightweight, flexible, and shock-absorbing material that provides cushioning and support.
Are these clogs suitable for wide feet?
The individually adjustable metal pin buckle allows for some adjustment to accommodate different foot widths, providing a more customized fit.
Troubleshooting
Suede appears matted or dirty.
Use a dedicated suede brush to gently brush the nap in one direction to restore its texture. For dirt, use the suede brush to remove loose particles. For minor stains, a suede eraser can be effective. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
Clogs feel too loose or too tight.
Adjust the metal pin buckle. Loosen it if they feel too tight, or tighten it if they feel too loose, ensuring your foot is secure but comfortable within the footbed.
Footbed feels uncomfortable initially.
The anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed requires a break-in period to mold to your unique foot shape. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time until they feel perfectly comfortable.
Clogs develop an odor.
Allow your clogs to air out thoroughly between wears. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight to absorb odors, then shake it out in the morning.

Care
Maintaining the suede material is key to preserving the look and longevity of your Boston Clogs:
- Cleaning: Gently brush off dirt and dust with a soft suede brush. For tougher spots, use a suede eraser. For liquid stains, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid rubbing, as this can spread the stain.
- Water Protection: Suede has a high moisture absorption capacity, so it's not water-resistant. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Consider applying a suede protector spray designed for footwear, following the product's instructions, to add a layer of resistance against light moisture and stains.
- Drying: If your clogs get wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources (like radiators or sunlight), which can damage the suede and cork. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store your clogs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Use shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or stubborn stains, consult a professional shoe cleaner experienced with suede.
